Of course, the punishment doesn't stop there. Because Sun Tu knew very well that with the two of them, only threatening the life and death of their families was not enough to completely collapse them, and they had to take another fierce medicine. So after Song Jiang and the others calmed down a little, he said: "There is another point that I think you must not have been able to understand until now, that is, why you have been defeated so completely, and how I have managed to know all your actions well and arrange them calmly." ”

Sure enough, after hearing this, the expressions of the two changed again, and their breathing tightened, especially Song Jiang, who asked in a dumb voice, "How did you do this?" He asked himself to be careful enough, but he had already been completely mastered by Sun Tu early on, and even laid a trap early on.

Sun Tuxiao looked at Li Gang in the other cell: "It seems that the two of you haven't told each other in detail how you failed and were captured, otherwise I think you should have been able to guess the answer." ”

Song Jiang was stunned, he really hadn't talked about this with Li Gang in detail, after all, everyone was already in prison, so why bother talking about these sad things again? And Li Gang also suddenly understood something at this moment, and immediately exclaimed: "It was those brothers who you said you could be completely trusted who suddenly turned to the front and attacked and killed General Guan Sheng, which caused the old man to be defeated and captured......

"What?" Song Jiang was dumbfounded, his body threw forward, his hands climbed the thick wooden fence of the cell, and stared at Sun Tu: "You actually ...... Actually bought them early in the morning? ”

Sun Tu still had a calm and breezy appearance: "Is this difficult?" Meng Kang, Bao Xu and the others were indeed your sworn brothers in Liangshanbo that day, but I have to ask you, do you really know them and treat them as brothers who can be entrusted with life and death? You actually think that they will work for you, do you think that just a few words from you can make them trust them with life and death, and even put the lives of their families, wives and children on the line? Wake up, you can't even come forward yourself, why should they put their lives on the line for your ambitions? ”

Song Jiang was stunned by his words, but he couldn't even say half a word of rebuttal. Because what Sun Tu said is indeed true, Meng Kang Bao Xu and other Liangshan's old brothers really don't have a deep friendship with them, and he doesn't know what they want now. It's just that he needs someone with military power to help him start the matter this time, and they happen to be brothers at the beginning, and now they have never been in a high position, so he takes it for granted that Xiaozhi can let them use it for himself with emotion and profit...... And now it seems that I still think things are simple.

Sun Tu's words continued: "I know why you hit them with your idea, because in your opinion, they will definitely not be satisfied with their current official position, after all, they have also fought with me in the north and south, and have made a lot of contributions to the imperial court, but in the end, most of them just hung up on an idle errand and received a not high salary in the military camp, which is obviously not in line with the great ambition you talked about in the past." So you decide that they are the ones to be wooed.

"But have you thought about it, in fact, the vast majority of people in the world don't have much ambition, all they want is to live a stable life, have a serious business, and let the family have no worries about food and clothing. And this, Meng Kang and others are absolutely not a problem now, and even they still have official positions, at least in the military camp, they are respected veterans of a hundred battles.

"Now, you actually let them raise their heads to rebel against you, it's a shame that you can think of it! People like them are destined to be ordinary officials, and they don't want to be big people if they can't do it. In that case, isn't it good for them to live their current lives, why do they want to put their heads on their belts and go on adventures with you? That's the biggest mistake you make! ”

Song Jiang's already ugly face was now as white as paper, and his body began to soften and tremble, and finally slowly slipped down and sat down, and the whole person's spirit seemed to be drained. Yes, he was full of ambition, but he obviously underestimated the hearts of others who wanted to live a stable life, so he made a fatal mistake from the beginning. It's ridiculous that I was full of hope for this before, but now that I think about it, it's really wishful thinking and talk on paper.

It's Li Gang, who also fell into self-doubt at this moment, Song Jiang is like this here, what about the person he is looking for? Is what he sees as righteousness really that important to others? In fact, the answer was already presented in the shouts and curses of the surrounding prisoners.

Sun Tu smiled, he could see that this blow really broke their last insistence: "So you guys have taken the wrong path from the beginning, and it is natural to have this defeat." ”

"No, there is still a problem with this...... Song Jiang suddenly thought of a little more: "How do you know that I haven't met them in person?" ”

"Why, haven't you figured it out yet? They are not the only ones who are unwilling to risk the murder of their entire family with you, and whoever you trust to contact them is the one who betrays you. ”

Wu ...... With ......" Song Jiang almost trembled and called out the name of the person he trusted the most, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he immediately shouted: "This is impossible!" Wu Junshi, he has always had a deep friendship with me, and we have been friends for decades, how could he ...... How could he have betrayed me like this? ”

"That's why I say you still don't know those brothers too well, or maybe now you are starting to distance yourself from your former brothers because of your status...... No, if you want me to say, in fact, you Song Jiang have never really regarded them as brothers, you have just been playing, pretending to be a righteous big brother, in fact, you have always been a selfish villain in your bones, using all means to use others and seek more benefits for yourself! When Sun Tu said this, he remembered the Song Jiang he knew.

That timely rain Song Gongming, on the surface, seems to be indeed generous, eager for justice and righteousness, and even can take several risks for the sake of his brother. But in fact, all this is just a means for him to win the fame of the rivers and lakes, whether it is before or after going up the mountain, he has never really regarded himself as a person from the rivers and lakes, he thinks about it, but he just relies on this to improve in the officialdom.

That's why he accepted Zhao'an despite public opinion when Liangshan was at its peak, and then exchanged the blood and lives of countless righteous brothers for his own good future. It's a pity that his pattern is too small after all, and his status is too low, and he has no strength at all in the court.

And now, although many things have changed, even his identity is very different, but his character in his bones has not changed in the slightest, he is still the selfish person who only cares about himself and does not care about other things!

Song Jiang listened blankly, wanting to refute, but he didn't know where to refute. And Sun Tu didn't give him such a chance again, and continued: "Even Wu Yong, who you keep claiming to be your confidant brother, I'm afraid you don't know him very well." You have no idea that he remarried two years ago and gave birth to a son for him last year. You don't even know how he regards this old son as a pearl in his palm and loves him in every way. Because you can't possibly understand how important these things are to other people that are just a burden to you!

"They don't have a wife, no children, no worries, so they can do whatever they want without recklessness. They need to consider the consequences, even if a wise person like Wu Yong is impossible, it is impossible to detach himself from this person's normal feelings. So from the moment you find Wu Yong and get to the bottom of him, you are already doomed, because he will never risk rebellion for the sake of his wife and children.

"On the contrary, when he learned of your plans, he confessed to me early. If I hadn't wanted to see what tricks you could play, I am afraid that I would not have been able to make this mess today. ”

This is the most desperate, it turns out that he has failed at the beginning, and it turns out that everything about himself has long been mastered by Sun Tu. It's ridiculous that I'm still fantasizing about the glory after the fact, how ironic it is to look back now.

Song Jiang almost collapsed to the ground, but he couldn't help but ask: "Since you knew about our plan early on, why wait until the end and let us launch it......"

"Because I want to dig out and eliminate those unstable factors in the court. If you were taken down early, Li Gang would not only be difficult to explain to the world, but would also leave many hidden dangers. How can those who are dissatisfied with me, who are hostile to me, jump out again when they see that you are defeated? So this time, I'm going to use your plot to lure them all out, and then catch them all.

"After this time, there is no one in the DPRK who dares to be my enemy, and if I want to talk about it, I really have to credit you. That's why I will ask Your Majesty to issue an order to destroy you and the other three clans, and behead you and abandon the city, which can be regarded as your wish to let Your Majesty be the master. ”

At this point, Li Gang and Song Jiang are really desperate, it turns out that they have been played by Sun Tu all the time, and the victory they thought they had was just an illusion that Sun Tu wanted to eradicate the opponents of the DPRK and China, so from beginning to end, he had no chance of winning.

The so-called punishment of the heart is nothing more than this, which makes them even have the heart to die. But now that he is in a cage, he can't even commit suicide.

In the end, Sun Tu threw down another sentence: "There is another point I want to thank you even more, if it weren't for you, how could I have dug out the biggest enemy who had been hidden for many years?" Di Huchen, he is indeed too deeply hidden, and in the past two years, no one in the Imperial City Division has been able to find any clues and evidence of him. ”

Coincidentally, when Sun Tu came out of the prison, he happened to see Di Yingyang who was waiting there at a glance, and he immediately understood the intention of this brother-in-law, and the smile on his face quickly dissipated.
